bridesmaid dress too small

What about the other bridesmaids, do their dresses fit?. I personally don't think this is a weight loss issue because you shouldn't be pressured into changing your body to fit a dress. I think you need to talk to the bride & say to her that you need a new dress, especially as you can't find the original seller. Are there any similar dresses available? If she refuses she's being unreasonable & she needs to take her wedding googles off.

You may find more help on the wedding planning forum as it tends to be busier.

Hey!

Just wanted to check up on you. How did you come up with 1300cal number? how much protein, carbs and fats are you taking? What kind of training are you doing?

If you are after body shape change then, give me a little more information I would maybe be able to help with the numbers and workouts

Kind regards,

Honestly 1300 calories is ALOT. The recommended daily amount for women is only 1200 calories a day so in all honesty you need to cut the calorie intake.

I am currently on a 600 calorie intake a day diet. I know it's a lot less than recommended but I am taking this very seriously.

Try and cut down to 800/900 calories a day and add 30 minutes of exercise a day aswell where you can fit it in and and you should start to see the pounds dropping off.

Sorry Tams but that's wrong. A woman's daily intake should be around 2000. 1300 is the level for most calorie controlled diets. 600 means your body is not getting enough and could be dangerous.

Absolutely this - especially if you're exercising too. Please take care Tams.

OP please don't follow this advice.

Tams - as others have said, please take care this isn't healthy at all & is likely to slow your weight loss down because your body will be going into starvation mode. If counting calories, most professionals would say not to have less that **** calories a day to stay healthy.

@tams90 - this is really dangerous, you NEED to eat more than that.

Muscle uses up a lot of energy - fat doesn't. So when you are not feeding your body enough, your body will start to break down muscle because it takes a lot more energy to maintain than fat. This means that your metabolism drops (the amount of calories your body needs just to live will be lowered), so when you do start eating normally again, it will store the excess energy as muscle as your body won't require the same amount of calories that it did before.

For healthy weight loss, you definitely need to stop overeating, but you also need to make sure that you are eating enough!

Re OP - I would definitely suggest speaking with the bride and finding out if you can get a new dress - causing yourself stress also creates a massive hormonal inbalance which means that it will make it harder to lose weight anyway! Definitely include some weight/resistance training, and make sure that you eat good lean protein, a slow releasing carbohydrate and some good fats.

Hi Hun. Have u tried looking at the seams. There maybe s good 2 inches that can be taken out.

Please don't kill yourself on some silly diet to fit into a dress. If you want to track what you eat my fitness pal is a fab little app. If you are exercising you will need to eat a bit more but just remember to measure yourself as you may drop inches rather than weight.
